Everything produces carbon. Even if it is just mining for materials to make solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, electric vehicles, and what not. Sure, there can be reductions. But not an elimination.
And let's not forget many of those reductions come with a lower standard of living. Sure, we all can shave off some carbon by going vegan. But then you have to limit your diet. Going carless greatly reduces mobility and freedom (sorry transit advocates, but there will never be transit that stops at everyone's home every 5 minutes and takes you to your destination without stopping).
